Real. Local. Co-op.

We love growing relationships close to home. Sprouted from the concept of connecting farmers with local consumers, Purple Porch Food Co-op hasn't forgotten its roots. Our LOCAL suppliers, vendors, farmers, and makers are located within an 1 hour drive or so of our store (60 miles). Our REGIONAL Midwest-based suppliers are designated as those within 300 miles of our front door. We strive to give preference to such vendors, in terms of retail space on our shelves, a special place in our hearts, and vendor spots at our weekly Farmer's Market. The Porch values supporting local entrepreneurs who are passionate and driven to contribute to our community. Our health - economically, nutritionally, and relationally - is made so much richer through these local collaborations.
